Still having my problems with the BSkyB Channel4 family channels, I had a closer look at the PES streams, more specifically the different PES streams' packet timestamps relative to each other, in recordings using DVBSnoop. It turned out that recordings of channels that xine can handle all the time (like the BBC channels) typically have a shift of 100 - 200 ms between audio stream packets (0xC0 or 0xC1) and the video stream packets (0xE0), whereas on the problematic channels (Channel4, ...) the typical shift between audio and video stream packets is between 400 - 800 ms. Moreover, the shift between the less frequent stream 0xBD packets and the video stream (0xE0) packets for the BBC channels is minimal (around 100 ms) and for the problematic Channel4 family channels up to 1580 ms. Neither of those channels seem to feature a non-MP2 audio channel, therefore I presume that the 0xBD stream is for subpictures and should not be relevant in this issue. >From this analysis I have a few more questions regarding xine: Is there a boundary (say 500 ms) after which xine cannot deal handle audio/video shifts in a PES anymore? If so, can xine be configured to handle bigger shifts (different buffer settings)? _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
